Family

A Christian life is lived in community. Being baptized into the Father gives us the identity of family.

Jesus called His disciples to follow Him together. He prayed in John 17 that they would be unified, working together, as they embarked on the mission He would give them.

We don’t live life alone. These are places of honest study and open discussion of Scripture (John 8:31-32; 1 Timothy 4:6) and joyful fellowship for God’s glory and our joy (Acts 2:42; 1 Thessalonians 5:11).

Servants

Groups are where we gather to know others and to be known. Being baptized into the Son (our King) gives us an identity of servants.

They are spaces for earnest prayer for each other and the world around us (James 5:16; 1 Timothy 2:1-2), and genuine care for each other’s needs (Galatians 6:2; Romans 12:9-16).

Missionaries

Groups give us the space to proclaim the gospel to our city, our neighbors as a group of disciple-makers.Being baptized into the Holy Spirit gives us the identity of missionaries.

It's in Groups that we receive strategic equipping for the mission God has given us to make disciples who make disciples (Matthew 28:18-20; Colossians 1:28; Acts 28:31).

Typically, Groups open with fellowship and then move into a time of discussion based on the sermon series from Sunday mornings or a study the group is working through. You are welcome to share if you feel comfortable!

Why are some Groups no longer available?

We like to keep our Groups small because we believe they foster an easier space in which to open up and share honestly with one another. We value spaces where everyone can be known and cared for. Once a group reaches it's capacity, we will close it to more members for the health of the group.

Is there childcare available?

Most groups have childcare in their homes for Group members' children. There are a few exceptions so if you need childcare please note that in your sign up form and we will work with your group request
